Encyclopedic overview

Arsène Charles Ernest Wenger (born 22 October 1949) is a French former football manager and player who has been serving as FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development since 2019. Nicknamed "Le Professeur", he is widely regarded as one of the most influential football managers of his generation. Wenger was the manager of Arsenal from 1996 to 2018, becoming the longest-serving and most successful manager in the club's history and the longest-serving manager in the history of the Premier League.

Born in Strasbourg and raised in Duttlenheim, Wenger was introduced to football by his father, the manager of the local village team. After a modest playing career as a midfielder, with appearances for clubs including FC Mulhouse and RC Strasbourg, he obtained a manager's diploma in 1981. Wenger began his managerial career at Nancy in 1984 before joining Monaco in 1987. At Monaco, he won the French league title and the Coupe de France in 1991. In 1995, Wenger moved to Japan to manage Nagoya Grampus Eight, where he won both the Emperor's Cup and the Japanese Super Cup.
